What Are The Stats?
Have you considered what would be the consequences for your business in the event of death or serious illness to one of the directors or partners? What would be the consequences for your family?
In the event of death, under normal circumstances, the shareholding of the deceased goes to their estate. What this means to the business is that the deceased family becomes the legal owner of the shareholding and by default the new business partner or director.
Surviving spouses or children may
» wish to come into the business
» wish to or refuse to sell their shares
» end up with unprofitable shares
Surviving shareholders may
» not wish to have the spouse or children as a partner or co-director
» not be in a position to purchase the shareholding
» not wish an outsider to buy the shares
We can provide a solution that
» preserves certainty of ownership by remaining directors
» is fair and just provision for the deceased’s dependants
» protects your exit plan
» gives you peace of mind
